Why Canada must engage China to ease Trump’s trade pressure. And why it may not happen
A Canadian professor argues that closer engagement with China is crucial for Canada to alleviate pressure from the Trump administration. Paul Evans, professor emeritus at the University of British Columbia, suggests that diversifying trade and shaping international institutions effectively requires China's participation.
Evans made these remarks at the University of Hong Kong, acknowledging that this view may not be universally accepted in Canada. His address comes after the U.S. imposed tariffs on Canadian goods, prompting retaliatory measures from Canada and raising concerns about Canada's sovereignty, with Trump suggesting it could become the "51st state."
